Throwing away millions and millions of tax dollars on Iraq. | there will be measurable benefits in the long run from Iraq. Giving away money to those beating our entitlements system results only in a larger number of entitlement grabbers for the future. See FDR to current for proof. |

Are we reaping any long term benefits from Vietnam today? | |

So in essence, we'll all owe a thanks to Bush for getting these corporations into this quagmire! | |

| The thing that bothers me about Obama is how naive he seems when not reading from his prepared remarks. He seems like he has no idea what he is getting into.
I won't vote for him, but as for McCain, I'm having a hard time trying to stomach voting for him, too. I keep trying to talk myself into voting for John McCain and he keeps trying to talk me out of it. | |

"But Obama will tax us to death!!!" Where are people getting this? Obama's tax plan will cut taxes 95%, and will eliminate capitol taxes for small businesses. Lord forbid the struggling middle class has some extra money in their pocket!
Obama '08 | are you serious. you've got to be kidding. he's going tax ever business, no matter how small or large. you really should wake up and smell what he's shovelling. | |
